Wilderness Safaris Camps Shine on 2011 Condé Nast Traveler Gold List

January 6th, 2011 • by Matt Holmes

Boundless Journeys’ Southern Africa safari partner, Wilderness Safaris, has begun the new year extremely well, with a number of its camps once again featuring prominently on Condé Nast Traveler’s Gold List.

Mombo Camp

The Gold List is well known as a list of “the best places to stay in the world” and is compiled from votes by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine in the USA.

This year, Mombo and Little Mombo camps again topped the Africa and Middle East category with the highest overall score of 98.4. Mombo was followed closely by Jao Camp with 94.3, while other Wilderness Safaris camps that achieved outstanding overall scores were DumaTau Camp in the Linyanti and Vumbura Plains Camp in the Okavango Delta.

These properties also excelled in specific categories, such as best location, best food, best design and best activities. Mombo and Little Mombo, Jao, DumaTau and Vumbura Plains received perfect scores of 100 in the Best Location category, while Mombo and Little Mombo achieved 96.3 in the Best Food group and Vumbura Plains scored 100 under Best Design.

In the Best Activities category Mombo and Little Mombo attained a score of 100, while Jao and DumaTau both scored 97.1.

Wilderness Safaris is thrilled to once again have received such wonderful accolades from the discerning readers of Condé Nast Traveler, and Boundless Journeys is proud to be one of their few partners in North America. Excellence in location, service, and wildlife experiences while helping Africa is a true expression of the Wilderness Safaris vision.
